Summary of characteristics of target article

 * Articles should be cited properly with links to all sources referenced in article. There should be no original research included in the article but all information should be verifiable via proper citations.
 * Articles should be organized in a clear and sensible way that maximizes readability and understanding by the audience.
 * Articles should not be biased. All sides of controversial issues should be described in a fair, impartial manner.
 * Grammatical and spelling errors should not be present. Style and tone should follow the manual of style.

Citation Practice: Oridonin
There are 3 primary types of programmed cell death (PCD) mechanisms. These include apoptosis, autophagy, and programmed necrosis. Oridonin is a naturally occurring organic molecule that can be isolated from the Chinese herb Rabdosia rubescens. The extracted and purified organic compound, of the class of molecules called diterpenoids, has been shown to affect the molecular mechanisms related to two of the programmed cell death processes: apoptosis and autophagy. Oridonin induces apoptosis and autophagy, leading to increased programmed cell death activity. Due to this strong interaction, the extract, as well as other molecules that affect PCD, are major targets of research for cancer therapeutic development.
